The Aesthetica Short Film Competition 2011 is now open for entries! Last year’s ASF was amazing with entries coming in from over 30 countries worldwide. It was a fantastic experience, and privilege to able to experience such innovative practice. The competition offers filmmakers an opportunity to get work broadcast to a wider audience and we’re keen to see entries from both new and established filmmakers who are driving short film forward.
The winning film receives a fantastic prize package including:

We’ve also run a series of Q&A with last year’s finalists and winners:
Part 1 – Carol Salter – “Unearthing the Pen” Winner

We’re incredibly excited about this year’s competition. So, if you’ve made a film that’s under 25 minutes, why not try your luck!
